“…Os sinais típicos são dor, aumento de volume da região umbilical, aumento de temperatura e secreção purulenta [15]. O aumento de volume está relacionado à substituição do endotélio vascular por tecido fibroso, entretanto, não está presente em todos os casos, podendo haver apenas aumento na espessura da parede dos vasos e de sua consistência [13]. A contaminação inicial do coto umbilical é de origem ambiental e ocorre logo após o nascimento.…”

“…Alterações patológicas nas estruturas umbilicais dos bezerros estão entre as enfermidades mais comuns em neonatos [16], especialmente durante o primeiro mês de vida, podendo atingir de 29,9% [5] até 42,2% dos bezerros [9], causando prejuízos de ordem econômica quando não diagnosticados e tratados adequadamente [13]. Dentre as enfermidades cita-se a onfalite, termo geral comumente empregado para definir a inflamação e infecção das estruturas externas do umbigo, e que pode ser subclassificada em onfaloflebite, onfaloarterite, onfalouraquite e panvasculite, de acordo com as estruturas afetadas.…”

Background:Pathological changes in the umbilical region are common in calves. Among such alterations, omphalitis is included. This term is used to define inflammation and infection of the external structures of the umbilicus. According to the affected structures, it can be subclassified into omphalophlebitis, omphaloarteritis, omphalourachitis and panvasculitis. These inflammations are usually associated with bacterial infections. There are predisposing conditions that include inadequate handling such as poor hygiene and neglect of primary care. Omphalitis can affect the animal in a multisystemic way, compromising its well-being and bringing economic losses. In treatment, the use of antimicrobials does not always solve the problem. Thus, surgical treatment can be used, which has good results and should be the choice in the disease. The objective of this work is to report 30 cases of omphalitis in calves, submitted to surgical or conservative treatment.Materials, Methods & Results: Thirty cases of omphalitis in calves treated in the routine of the Veterinary Hospital of the Paranaense University was analyzed. On physical examination, the animals presented fever, apathy, hyporexia or anorexia and increase of umbilical volume, usually with purulent secretion. Some animals had sepsis and arthritis. In animals with sepsis, hyperemia of the episcleral vessels, dehydration and severe apathy were observed. In calves with arthritis, increased joint volume, pain on palpation and lameness were observed. In animals where the owners did not authorize the surgery, treatment was instituted with sulfadoxine and flunixim meglumine. In dehydrated calves, fluid therapy was used. Animals that were surgically treated received the same clinical treatment protocol as non-operated animals. The surgical procedure was performed under general anesthesia and consisted of resection of the affected umbilical structures. Omphalophlebitis was the most common illness. The most frequent complication was sepsis. Calves treated surgically had a higher survival rate (86.66%) than those treated clinically (46.67%).Discussion: The clinical signs presented by all animals converged with the literature, allowing for clinical diagnosis. Clinical examination is essential for diagnosis in omphalitis cases. Complementary methods include ultrasound, thermography and laparoscopy, which are important to identify changes in intra-abdominal umbilical structures. Accurate diagnosis of the involved structures was only possible in animals surgically, as well as alterations in organs such as the liver and bladder. There is great variability related to the umbilical structures involved, according to initial care, breeds, seasonality or even the method of conception. Unlike what is observed in the literature, in the present study, there was a higher prevalence of omphalophlebitis, demonstrating variability in relation to the umbilical structures involved. Sepsis, observed in 16.7% of cases, results from bacterial ascension of the umbilical structures. Lameness due to polyarthritis was found in 10% of animals. Meningoencephalitis was observed in 3.3%. Hepatic and retroperitoneal abscedation were observed in 6.7% and 3.3% of cases, respectively. Conservative treatment with antibiotics and local antiseptics has a limited effect on this type of condition, which was proven in the presentstudy, since the survival rate was statistically higher in animalssurgically treated.Keywords: surgery, umbilical structures, bovine, neonate.Descritores: cirurgia, estruturas umbilicais, bovinos, neonato.Título: Surgical Approach in Calves with Omphalitis

“…Lischer e Steiner (1994) e Seino et al (2016) afirmam que o exame ultrassonográfico auxilia na determinação das estruturas acometidas e na escolha da terapia mais adequada. A ocorrência de onfalopatias associadas, caracterizada pelo envolvimento de mais de uma estrutura umbilical, apresentou maior grau de dificuldade, especialmente nos primeiros animais examinados.…”

RESUMO A analgesia pós-operatória em bovinos, por vezes, é negligenciada, frequentemente por falta de métodos quantitativos para seu diagnóstico e dimensionamento. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: avaliar a pedometria e o acompanhamento bioquímico no pós-operatório de bovinos Nelore com onfalopatias e comparar a eficiência anti-inflamatória e analgésica entre diferentes doses de flunixin meglumine e meloxicam nesses animais. Foram utilizados 24 bovinos; deste total, 18 animais foram submetidos a laparotomia para tratamento das onfalopatias e, posteriormente, divididos em três grupos de animais: G1, que recebeu 1,1mg/kg flunixin; G2, 2,2mg/kg flunixin; G3, 0,5mg/kg meloxicam. A via de eleição para os tratamentos foi a IM, uma vez ao dia, totalizando seis aplicações. Outros seis bovinos saudáveis compuseram o grupo controle (GC). As coletas do sangue total para mensuração do cortisol plasmático foram realizadas antes e depois da cirurgia, assim como a leitura do pedômetro e o exame clínico. As concentrações plasmáticas de cortisol diferiram apenas no M0, entre o GC e os grupos tratados. O flunixin meglumine em diferentes doses e o meloxicam foram equivalentes no tratamento da dor pós-operatória e no efeito anti-inflamatório em bovinos submetidos à laparotomia para tratamento das onfalopatias.

“…Infection of the umbilicus and its associated structures commonly occurs in newborn farm animals and seems to be particularly common in newborn calves (Vaala & House 2006a, Seino et al 2016. In addition to losses due to death, which occur in about 25% of cases, other damages may occur to contribute to decreased product development (Figueiredo 1999).…”

The aim of this study was to measure serum immunoglobulin concentrations of Nellore cattle produced by in vitro fertilization (IVF) with umbilical diseases and to evaluate surgical excision as a method of treatment. Sixteen cattle with ages ranging from 1 to 15 months, males and females, affected by umbilical diseases were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were collected for cell counts and the determination of immunoglobulin concentrations by electrophoresis and zinc sulphate turbidimetry (ZST). Four calves were presented with umbilical herniation, two with an umbilical herniation associated with a persistent urachus, two with an umbilical herniation with a persistent urachus and omphaloarteritis, three with an umbilical herniation and an urachal diverticulum, three with a persistent urachus, one with an urachal diverticulum, and one with omphalitis. The blood cell counts pre- and post-surgical revealed differences in cell volume and the number of leukocytes. The immunoglobulin values measured by electrophoresis values were below normal in most animals, whereas the ZST showed normal levels in most of them. Most of the calves affected by umbilical diseases and produced by IVF presented hypoglobulinaemia. Correlations between umbilical diseases, failure of passive transfer of immunity and IVF could not be demonstrated.
